Automated Load Shedding Period Control System

Energy is the basic necessity for the economic development of a country. Many functions necessary to present-day living grind to halt when the supply of energy stops. It is practically impossible to estimate the actual magnitude of the role that energy has played in building up present-day civilization. In this modern world, the dependence on electricity is so much that it has become a PART & PARCEL of our life. So we need to save more & more electrical power. Hence, the load shedding control system, which was earlier done manually, now-a-days, is controlled by a computer based system, developed to some more extent to direct the society to a more convenient life. This paper focuses on developing a computerized procedure for controlling the load-shedding system where manual work will be minimized by selecting the feeder, substation and duration of shedding time by the user. Simulation results’, using the above proposed model, verifies the suitability of choosing such an automated load shedding system.
